GBImportant Banquet-Highly Recommend Arista We had Arista cater a very important school banquet. Though our budget was limited, Arista worked within the budget and provided an amazing dinner that exceeded our expectations. Everyone agreed it was the best one yet! The Arista team was friendly and very professional. They took alot of pressure and stress off the committee. We will definitely have Arista cater again next year.

GBVery professional and well orchestrated! Two thumbs up in all respects except one. The one and only catering staff person, Willie, was under the impression that he could leave after setting up all the food items but before the guests arrived. I asked him if he could stay for a while, to help with serving and cleaning. Willie agreed to do so, which was a huge plus in my book! But in the future I suggest making sure this item, namely service help during an event, is addressed up front to help avoid any last minute surprises or frustrations. Job well done!

GBI had a very positive experience… I had a very positive experience working with Arista. Alejandra helped answer my questions and was lovely and professional in helping me select the right menu. An event coordinator for a local non-profit, I hosted an event for what ended up being 40 people, and the food turned out very well. The woman who dropped off the catering was right on time, and she helped stage the beautiful appetizers according to my vision. Of course we were on a budget, and Arista delivered both in affordability, presentation and flavor. The beef tenderloin on crostini and bruschetta were the most popular. The balsamic infused watermelon bites were talked about the most - such a different combination but really tasty! I look forward to working with Arista again in the future!

GBArista Catering was excellent! Arista provided food of excellent quality, with good service. Their website had extensive options and they worked with us on the menu to best suit the occasion. Pricing very reasonable. They did it all without needing direction on site. Would recommend them highly.

GBSecond time not a charm We used Arista last year and without hesitation I signed up again without even researching my options. Unfortunately the service this year was below par with our first experience. The coffee and tea were taken away after breakfast and no additional water was left for lunch, both were part of the contract. And, no chips with a taco bar? Sad. Food was generally tasty, no complaints there. But I was running the meeting and could not break away to ask for service items that were amiss. I realize that at the Horticultural Center we as customers are a captive audience to their caterer "preferred list". Next year I'll do some research...
